Looking for a home in a newer building with a great location? Crown Heights may be your answer. One of StreetEasy’s 10 NYC Neighborhoods to Watch in 2025, Crown Heights saw a 6.4% year-over-year increase in searches last year, thanks in part to new developments and an easy commute to Manhattan. Plus, there are some great deals in the nabe, like 111 Montgomery St. #3D. Our Deal of the Week is a Crown Heights studio right outside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, with both a dishwasher and in-unit laundry.

The Price: $549,000
The median asking price for a home in Crown Heights was $1.2 million this January, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced below half the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down the 10% minimum down payment of $54,900 can expect to see monthly payments of $4,289. This includes a mortgage payment of $3,186, taxes of $530, and common charges of $573.
Why You’ll Love It…
The studio’s main living area features one floor-to-ceiling window, plus a glass door leading to a Juliet balcony. This setup allows for lots of natural light, plus the ability to open up the door and let the outside in. Wide-plank white oak hardwood floors and off-white cabinetry give the place a bright, sleek look. And speaking of the cabinetry, matching panels conceal a full suite of Bosch appliances, including a dishwasher and stacked refrigerator and freezer. The monochromatic look is tied together with quartz countertops and white backsplash tile.
Unlike many studios, this unit features a formal foyer with a large closet. You’ll find another closet in the main living space, and one more next to the kitchen that houses the in-unit washer/dryer. Doing laundry in New York doesn’t get much easier than this! The bathroom is also located off the entryway, and features a modern aesthetic with tile floors and walls plus matte black fixtures.
Found in a building constructed in 2020 bordering the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, this unit has access to a host of amenities including a shared rooftop deck, resident lounge, co-working space, terrace with dining tables and barbecues, and fitness center outfitted with Peloton bikes. Parking, storage, and bicycle storage are also available. When you need to get out of the neighborhood, transit is easy with the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, and Q trains all nearby. But staying close to home has plenty of appeal, with nearby eateries including Cornbread Brooklyn, Chavela’s, and Tom’s Restaurant, in addition to the proximity of Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Public Library.
…And Why You Might Not
At less than 500 square feet, this studio might be too small for some. The kitchen is also situated right within the living area, which doesn’t provide much separation between spaces for cooking and sleeping. Still, with the great mix of amenities and the location, this one is certainly a steal!
